Описание: Welcome to a landscape of ancient evil . . .

with stories by masters of horror Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, H. P. Lovecraft, M.

R. James , Ramsey Campbell, Storm Constantine, Christopher Fowler, Alison Littlewood, Kim Newman, Reggie Oliver , Michael Marshall Smith, Karl Edward Wagner, and more! The darkness that endures beneath the earth . .

. the disquiet that lingers in the woodland surrounding a forgotten path . .

. those ancient traditions and practices that still cling to standing stone circles, earthworks, and abandoned buildings; elaborate rituals that invoke elder gods or nature deities; the restless spirits and legendary creatures that remain connected to a place or object, or exist in deep wells and lonely pools of water, waiting to ensnare the unwary traveler . .

. These concepts have been the archetypes of horror fiction for decades, but in recent years they have been given a name: Folk Horror. This type of storytelling has existed for more than a century.

Authors Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, H. P. Lovecraft, and M.

R. James all published fiction that had it roots in the notion of the supernatural being linked to objects or places left behind. All four writers are represented in this volume with powerful, and hopefully unfamiliar, examples of their work, along with newer exponents of the craft such as Ramsey Campbell, Storm Constantine, Christopher Fowler, Alison Littlewood, Kim Newman, Reggie Oliver, and many others. Illustrated with the atmospheric photography of Michael Marshall Smith, the stories in The Mammoth Book of Folk Horror tap into an aspect of folkloric tradition that has long been dormant, but never quite forgotten, while the depiction of these forces as being in some way natural in no way detracts from the sense of nameless dread and escalating horror that they inspire .
